"Wait, you are supposed to be weak. Where is the strength coming from" He asked as he felt scared and shocked.
"The desire to send you to hell," Dave said. "Iron fist," He struck his hands in the air which solidified into a fist. Now commander Jack now clearly saw the fist, it was over a metre long and its speed was astonishing. "Turtle shell," Commander Jack said as he swiftly recovered from the shock with his survival instinct alert. He quickly activated a hidden amour with him in a fluid motion. "Crack," The green shell that which covered like a forcefield cracked by the impact of the punch. He also wasn't a weakling and he possessed some fighting ornaments. "You are not supposed to be able to fight, you would die if you think you can kill me," Commander Jack said, trying to bring down his morale. "As long as you are alive, I can always have the strength," Dave said. His life been treated as a toy angered him. First the commander left him all alone to fight the beast, and now that he had manage to kill it. The commander wants to take his credit and even wanted to kill him to burry the secret. It disgraceful when the perso you look up to is nothing more than a bully. "Think again, let me show you my full strength. Commander Jack said as he stopped Dave's next strike with his bare hand. "No one but the village leader knew about my talent. I have the talent of regeneration. No matter how hard you try I can recover. I am actually immortal, give up now," Commander Jack said with a hysterical laugh. "There is no such thing as immortal," Dave said. "System, give me what I can use in killing him," Dave said keeping eye contact with commander Jack. "You can use your newly possessed skill. Hell fire," The system replied. "I have a new skill?" Dave asked. "Yes, the one you got from the monster," The system replied. "Thank you for that system," Dave said with a smile. "It is my duty to protect the host," The system said. "What? Gone mad from realising you are prone to lose," Commander Jack said. "I am not going to die, you are," Dave said. "Are you that dumb? I am immortal, I can't die," Commander Jack said. "Yes you are," Dave said as he opened his right palm. He felt his energy flow and concentrated on his index finger. "Hell Fire," Dave said as he pointed at him. A small flicker of flame shot out from it. "You are hilarious this small fire can't even burn my armour," Commander Jack said as he opened his arms wide open. As the flame got closer it started to grow wide, absorbing the fire energy from the surrounding, making the temperature of the dungeon rise sharply. "Wait, something seems wrong," Commande Jack thought, sensing the danger. He felt the energy of the whole dungeon against him. "Turtle shell," He tried to block the impact and have the chance to run but the forcefield melted upon touching the wild flames. "I take back what I said, please don't kill me," Commander Jack yelled as his whole body was engulfed in flames. He tried as much to extinguish the flames but to no avail "You can't kill your fellow member," Commander Jack yelled louder with his last strength before he collapsed on the floor. "Ding: Congratulations host on levelling up. You are now a 2 star bronze grade talent" "Ding: Congratulations host on levelling up, you are now a 3 star bronze grade talent," The system notification rang in his ears. DAVE felt a wave of exhaustion wash over him. He felt power drained. With his last bit of energy he used it to evacuate from the dungeon to the village. He staggered as he walked with only his legs awake. He held tightly to the beast core almost as if someone would steal it if he wasn't careful. With the beast core he could prove about the killing of the beast and get cash rewards from the mercenary guild. His clothes were torn from the two consecutive fights. "Brother," Lily's soft voice called out as soon as she saw Dave walking into the village. "What happened?" She asked as she rushed towards him. "Don't touch me, you will get burnt," Dave said, stopping her. She couldn't touch him due to the hot heat that came out from him. He looks as if he was roasted. "Water...... I need.... Water," He said in a dry voice. "Please come inside," Lily said as she helped him in not minding his consistent warning. She filled the bathtub with cold water and helped him get half dressed. Dave wearing nothing but his underwear entered the bathtub which boiled. He knew the heat was coming from him due to the hell energy he used. "System, what happened to me?" Dave asked. "You lack poor control of the energy. Instead of concentrating on one point, some residual energy spreads to other parts of your body. Your health is currently in danger," The system said. "So what can you do?" Dave asked. "The system healing skill has already been activated but it would take some time to cool your body into its normal temperature," The system said. ********After Few hours********* Dave woke up, the bathtub which was filled with water was dried. He felt refreshed and cool. "What is my status?" Dave asked. "Showing host status," Name: Adrian Cole Race: Human Age: 21 Gender: Male Attributes: - Health Points (HP): 4 - Speed: 3 - Agility: 4 Talent level: First star bronze grade Skill: God's eye vision (second level weak) Hell Fire (first level weak) Regeneration (first level Weak) Fame: 2 Energy: 5,000 needed for next upgrade Supreme coins: 20 Title: Beast slayer Bloodline: Locked Legacy: Locked Weapon: None Resistance to fire: 10 Shop:Locked Mission: None "My health bar is still too low," Dave thought with a sigh. "Yes, you feel okay now but you still have some internal injuries. It will take some time for you to return back to your prime," The system told Dave. "Sad News Sad News Sad News," Micheal said as he rushed to the district of the village leader. Dave quickly dressed and headed out. He saw the rest of the group carrying the dead body of Commander Jack. He hissed in irritation but he kept his face still. "what happened?" He asked as he followed them with a fake caring look.We should be asking you the same question, both you and the commander went together. We see you okay but the commander was killed by the monster. I knew that we shouldn't have allowed the commander to go with you, you are nothing more than a burden," Rowand said angrily. Dave felt pissed but he remained calm. "What do you mean? The commander separated with me saying we would search the area if we split up," Dave said. "That is not necessary, we need to take the commander to the village leader now," Fred said. Dave followed them to the village leader. *****At the village leader district**"" "Who can tell me what really happened," Chief Damien, a handsome middle aged man sitting on a throne asked , looking at the body of Commander Jack. His eagle eyes scanned everyone. Rowand stepped forward. "My respect to chief Damien The last person who saw commander Jack before he died was Dave Cole, a member of our team," Rowand said with a respectful tone as he bowed slightly. Everyone
"Yeah," Dave said as he opened his arms for an embrace. "Where did you go?" She asked like a housewife. "To the chief," Dave Replied. "What for?" She asked again with her hands holding her waist. "To discuss some things," Dave replied as he entered. "What?" She asked again “It suprise, wait till evening to find out," Dave answered as he entered his room. Lily was a chatterbox and he didn't have time to reply to all her questions. Lily brought a meal of bread and eggs. She still had a frown on her face because of Dave not revealing the surprise. After the hearty meal “I will be going to the mercenary guild,” Dave said. “But you just got back,” Lily complained. “I know but it is important,” Dave said. “You are acting strange these days, and it's after you woke up from that sleep,” Lily said with a pout. “It's still me,” Dave said. “No, the real you would stay with me and tell me funny stories. But this you is always busy going about and coming back wounded.
Dave's heart raced as he walked through the street littered with a pile of dead bodies. He wore a torn clothes while carrying his 1 year old sister in his arms. Tears filled his sea blue eyes as he tried to locate the bodies of his parents in the pile of dead bodies. He was dressed in a white shirt and black trousers. He had beautiful features like his ink dark hair, blue crystal eyes and fair skin. It happened so fast, the space itself torn and monsters spilled in. His village was the first to suffer the painful fate. It was pure massacre a d complete chaos.The air filled with the screams of people who were devoured by strange monsters who came out of nowhere. It had all happened so fast the attack from the monsters was in the middle of the night and it caught the villagers off guard. One moment he was sleeping peacefully and the next his parents suddenly rushed into the room and woke him up. They told him to carry his little sister and head to the basement underneath the ho
"Hey get back," Micheal said as he pushed Dave to a corner before spreading his hands open. His hands began to glow with white light. The strike which was about to hit him lost its target and hit the rock beside them. The snake hissed loudly in annoyance as it strikes with its head baring its long corrosive fangs.Dave recovered from the push and steadied himself, he looked at Micheal in awe. He seemed in control of the battlefield but in reality he was at a loss. He had the skill of telekinesis where he moves things with his mind. But moving something this big almost gave him a black out. Dave stood there clenching his sword tightly, he didn't even know where to start from and he felt his presence there was ignored and useless. Despite his best efforts, Dave found himself struggling to keep up with Micheal's prowess. While Micheal fought the creatures with telekinetic blasts, Dave's sword strikes felt clumsy and ineffective in comparison. Each swing of his blade seemed to mis
What are these words? I have never seen such language before and it wasn't even there," Dave said. "The message is beyond your comprehension right now. You are too weak to know about it," The system said. Dave suddenly felt insulted, too weak was a name that had stuck to him and hearing it again felt annoying. "My apologies if I had indirectly hurt you host," The system apologised. "Can you sense my emotions?" Dave asked, perplexed by the system's timely apology. "We are connected by soul, I can feel your emotions and even your thoughts," The system said. "What? My thoughts, then I will have no privacy," Dave said with wide eyes. "You can disable this feature anytime you like. But it was just for you to communicate with me even in public," The system said. "Oh okay then, you can keep it on them," Dave said. "But you still haven't told me, how did you get into the necklace? What is special about it and what created you?" Dave asked questions after questions. "I am sorry, I
Lily manages to calm herself down."I won't die that easily," Dave said as he tickled her, making her laugh out loud."Now we are even right?" Dave asked."Yes," Lily said with a smile as she wiped her tears."I almost forgot, the commander said I should inform him the moment you woke up. He said he has something to discuss with you," Lily said."The commander? I am just a useless member of the group and the commander is known as a high class individual, what could he want from me?" Dave thought inwardly."But it doesn't seem like they are around, I heard a dungeon was open yesterday?" Lily said."Yesterday? Two dungeons in a day?" Dave asked with shock in his eyes."No brother, it not two dungeons appeared in a day. You were unconscious for two days," Lily said."Two days, that's a lot," Dave said with a shocked look."Okay, thanks for looking out for me during these days. But can you leave me alone for sometime and inform me when the commander arrives," Dave said."Okay, you must be
Oh, we got another mission. I will go now to get prepared. And whatever the strange energy was, if you have a clue about it feel free to reach out to me," Commander Jack said as he stood up. "If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to ask." Dave breathed a sigh of relief, grateful that Jack hadn't pressed further. "Thank you, Commander. I appreciate it." "You again? Are you this thick skin?" Rowand asked with a mocking tone as Dave came to the mercenary guild. "The way you fainted shamelessly at the battlefield didn't teach you any sense, are you that willing to die?" Rowand asked. "Rowand, get back to line,” Commander Jack said in a cold tone. “Sorry commander but he will just be a blocking stone to success. We haven't been able to complete a mission. If this goes wrong again we could get kicked out of the mercenary guild. Commander Jack had a thoughtful expression for a moment. He knew what Rowan said was true. They had only completed one mission and it was cleared b
"Again, Iron fist," Dave said as the monster struck him with its tentacles. It deflected his attack but the tentacles still strike forward making Dave dodge to evade the fatal strike. "What," Dave thought with wide eyes. He just saw the flash of death. This wasn't his first life and death battle, but looking around he had no one but himself to save him. He knew now he could not run away, the monster had taken him as a target, its red flames burning more brightly indicating its furiousness. "Did I make a mistake coming out?" Dave thought as he dodge another strike in the nick of time. “System, how long do I have left?" Dave asked, breathing heavily. The surrounding was in chaos. "Where is the help that is coming?" Dave thought inwardly. "You have approximately 6 minutes and 43 seconds left," The system said. "That's too low, I need to end this soon," Dave thought monetarily, forgetting the fight. "Iron fist," Dave yelled but he was a few seconds late. The tentacles struck
